But so far I haven't found anything but Losartin Pottassium Hydrochlorothiazide to control my High Blood Pressure. I even have tried Dr. Ardis Herbs. On third bottle and it has little or no effect on my condition.
I don't know much about that Losartin potassium hyrochlorothiazide pill. My wife uses the one with the beta blocker, not the ARB one. There are some issues for some people with the beta blocker meds and there are some issues for some people with the ARB meds. I caught all kinds of diseases when they had me on the Beta blockers and had to discontinue them four times because they effected my thinking negatively. Later on I noticed that every time I had been on the Beta blockers when going through my records from over twenty years, I had issues like bronchitis, pleuracy, walking pneumonia, and other lung infections after I started the Beta blockers and each time when the prescription was removed, I was not sick anymore. I mentioned this on ATS and a doctor mentioned that when on beta blockers some people get lung diseases and to check that out on the FDA site and on the pharma sites....sure enough it listed that increased risk of lung diseases when on Beta blockers at both those sites as a side effect. I was diagnosed by two doctors with chronic bronchitis and Chronic pleuracy. But that all went away after I discontinued the meds, and at the time all I noticed was an inability to comprehend things...like driving down the road, writing numbers for people on a paper to call about from a telephone time radio program, and one time I dropped the paper onto the floor and bent over while doing fifty five and almost got into a headon collision because I went into the other lane....It messed up my thinking and it was either continue on the med and quit driving or quit the med. The doctor told me to stop taking it and my thinking got better imediately.
All meds have side effects, even medicinal herbs and supplements can. I guess beta blockers block adrenaline, so since adrenaline actually is used to kill microbes in the lungs somehow, it blocks lung infections. After thanking that doctor on ATS I used to discuss things with, I learned never to take beta blockers again. And I never will, I usually rarely get sick, and the only antibiotic that seems to help me when I do get sick is augmentum for some reason. I rarely need to go to the doctor anymore, and it seems that I can control my blood pressure well by avoiding certain foods. I spent almost a year monitoring my blood pressure and kept a record of foods that made it rise....the culprit seems to be something I was diagnosed with many decades ago.....I used to get headaches from foods high in tyramines. Evidently, it is not just the headaches that were effected, they also raise my blood pressure up. I cannot eat marinated fried chicken either, but if I get chicken without the ummami flavor it only brings my blood pressure upper level up maybe ten.
I also have hereditary tachychardia, so my heartrate is always above a hundred, and when doing something, it can go over two hundred...that is why I was put on Beta blockers, but they did not work for that. I have been for four heart stress tests in the past, the last two I explained to the doctor giving it that if they slow down the treadmill for a little while, my blood pressure starts to drop, and then I can go again and my blood pressure goes down, while my heart rate in that last test went to 220. He asked me how I know that, I told him I have had this all my life, so did my dad and Uncle. I learned how to live with it. At two thirty it will start bounding around in my chest I told him...so they kept it below that.
My uncle went for a special operation to cut the second signal to the heart, his veins and arteries were supposedly like a teenagers, at seventy five years old. a year later he needed a bypass surgery, I talked to the doctor after he died, the doctor was upset because when he put the balloon in the artery blew apart. Just one year with that change...knocking out the double signal, his whole system got brittle. That procedure is not done anymore, except for critical cases. They had some problems happen where they got rid of that procedure, his death was probably listed in the evidence to ban it's use. The VA did the first operation to cut the second signal, I suppose they experiment on vets yet, it was a new technology and if it worked well, it would help a lot of people.
Being that I was supposed to be a surgeon, I learned to talk to doctors well, and they tell me things when I ask professional questions properly....at least the majority did over the years. I have only had two doctors that were stuck on their knowledge, knowledge that blinded them to obvious conditions. My tachychardia is related to a small amount of Inuit genetics. so is my consistantly low blood sodium levels, and my peeing a lot because evidently I lack an antidiuretic hormone. I was put on diuretics once, for three months, and the doctor discontinued them because of problems with my urine...that intolerance to diuretics has been listed in all my records for twenty years now. So I cannot take the medicine you are taking.
Strange how having the metabolism of an Inuit person from my fathers side made my life so different than others...it is kind of rare in northern europeans, but not in some asians. But I cannot eat like asians either, because My genetics is not asian like most inuits, we have common ancestors, but we are not the same. I did have partial shovel incisors...now they are all in a cup in a cabinet when I reacted bad to the anti-epileptics. that intolerance to those meds is also related partially to that one point seven percent inuit genetics.
I was supposed to shorten my posts, I can claim I forgot because I am seventy now and old people forget they are supposed to behave and not talk.
